>> marking the 25th anniversary of the fall of the berlin wall. there were fireworks, music and emotional speeches recounting the painful cold war divide between east and west berlin and the moment on this day in 1989 when the wall came crashing down. we are now live from berlin. frederick was there when the wall came down 25 years ago. there have been ceremonies throughout the day and evening there. describe the scene. >> uh-huh. >> certainly the highlights of these ceremonies which as you said went on the entire day was the releasing of 7,000 balloons into the night sky.
1:12 pm
that certainly was a very amazing moment. i think the best thing about these ceremonies is while there was a lot of jubilation. they did pay respect. 28 years that divided this city. there are many people who believe that more people died somewhere along the way trying to get across the wall and not making it. it was a day of jubilation. of course also spelled the beginning of the end of communism as well. >> what are your memories from that? >> it was an amazing time. i have to tell you that anybody who is in my generation, anybody
1:13 pm
in the older generation would never have believed that the wall could come down. i would have never believed that the wall would come down in a peaceful way. i think that was absolutely key. the wall was known as being this fier fierce. >> at the same time there was a lot of uncertainty as to how all of this would unfold. >> you say your family spied on you. tell us a little bit more about the experience living there.
1:14 pm
>> i had a unique experience because my father was a correspondent in the east of germany. he was stationed there. he was the enemy of the state number one for them. their secret police broke into the apartment that we lived in. they spied on the children on us. they spied on him very extensively. so learnly, that repression was always there. he told me recently that there were times that they would break into the office and make sure they tried to stop him from speaking to the east german population and from letting them express their views about what was really going on under communism. >> i bet your parents have incredible stories to share. thank you so much for that. so interesting to hear your experiences there.

world. then in a tiny country, stacy addison shared a cab with the wrong man at the wrong time. he asked the driver to make a stop to pick up a package. authorities said it was drug. even after addison was cleared of any wrong doing she is still being held as a witness and now authorities are saying it could take a year to complete their investigation. so joining me now to discuss this on the phone, stacy's mother. bernadet, thank you for talking to us. i can't imagine what a nightmare this has been to you. >> it has been a tough week or more since i got the news that she was rearrested and put in prison. i'm still in shock. i am trying to stay strong for stacy's sake but the whole thing is like a bad dream.

1:33 pm
when you travel in these developing countries, people that don't travel don't realize that that's the only mode of transport is a shared vehicle, a shared taxy. if there's not a bus and she had to renew her indonesian visa, she was -- had to go and received a visa there. after that, she paid $10 to share a taxy, a car, a hired car with a complete stranger. when this happened, this person asked to stop and pick up a package. police were there. they had been informed in some way. she was tested. her she was completely searched.
1:34 pm

1:36 pm
kere joins us now. is it early to be talking about snow? >> it's not unheard of. we get about nine inches on average. to have this major storm system come through that could bring us up to a foot and possibly more of snow, it certainly, i think earlier than most of us would like. there has been a lot of last minute leaf raking, snow blower buying today. the forecast does call for six to 12 inches. most of us falling in the eight to ten inch mark. amounts locally higher than that. it is looking like a heavy wet

>> the ferguson, missouri, grand jury could announce its decision on the michael brown shooting death any day now. members presented police with 19 rules of engagement to help the city avoid violence when the decision comes down. some include 48 hours notice. they don't want police to use riot gear and excessive police force will not be tolerated. i'm joined now by dr. cedric alexander. they expect the worst when the grand jury decision comes down. what are you expecting to happen on the ground in ferguson when
1:44 pm
the grand jury makes a decision. >> what we hope to have happen following by the last months is that in the time that between now and the time of grand jury making some determination, whatever that may happen to be. quite frankly none of us know. what i am hoping occurs is the police agencies have had some time to meet and to talk and to work through some of the differences that have been so clearly obvious. as they move forward in terms of this decision that is yet to be made by a grand jury, hopefully they will be in a much better place to discuss and engage whatever the outcome of that ruling may happen to be. >> and one of the rules listed that we just talked about was 48 hours notice before the grand jury decision is released. do you think that's fair or do you think that's overreaching.
1:45 pm
>> what i think is fair is that it's okay to have rules of engagement. those rules will really have to be successed by community and police. whatever those engagements and rules are, i have happened to have read through some of them. it becomes increasingly important. police also need to know what benefit, how it benefits them as well. this is a dlabtive relationship that has to be built. now is a great opportunity and time to build that. hopefully whatever those rules of engagement are, hopefully both entities can work through it. there are some things that police quite frankly by the mere nature of the job itself they may have a very different perception looking at it from 10,000 feet.
1:46 pm
>> you think it should be reciprocal? this is a list intended for law enforcement but you are saying it should go both ways? >> that is one of the problems that is they have not dlab rated and worked very well together so this is an opportunity here again regardless of what the outcome of that grand jury decision had to be. we don't know what that yacht come is. until that happens, that community and that police department in ferguson, in and around ferguson, we all need to be talking and working together. so that here again we are doing it collaboratively. >> we don't want a repeat of
1:47 pm
what we saw before in ferguson. >> absolutely right. >> thank you for coming to talk to us. >> thank you for having me. >> imagine a new product that could transform life in so many positive ways for the blind. imagine it's a 13-year-old behind the cutting age invention. you'll meet him up next. but first mete arthur bloom. he's one of the nominees for hero of the year. >> music is my earliest memory. i never decided to be a professional musician. it's just what i have always done. it feels great to make music but it's also a mechanism for healing. >> we were on this normal morning patrol, walking down the road. oi had never been hit by an ied before. i sat up, my legs were completely gone.
